Mark 15: 22, 23
And they bring Him unto the place, Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull." Ans they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but He received it not.
MYRRH
Why, when we are thinking about Christmas, do we hear the story of the crucifixion? Why, did the Magi bring this gift of myrrh to the young child? Because, it was for this reason that JESUS came to earth in the flesh. JESUS was living a mission and a ministry, given to Him by the Father, His whole life on earth was the mission and ministry of Redemption. JESUS came to reconcile us to GOD. JESUS came to set the captives free and to break every yoke; to defeat death and the grave and to bring eternal life to all who believe in Him.
The Word of GOD became the Word made flesh and dwelt among us, full of mercy and grace. He came to seal a New Covenant with His Blood. He came that we might have life and that more abundant and free. Why did JESUS come? To do the will of His Father and the will of the Father is eternal life with Him. GOD is Love; JESUS is the manifestation of the great Love of the Father.
VENITE ADORAMUS, DOMINUS. COME LET US ADORE HIM, CHRIST THE LORD.
